Ok. I was sitting watching the action going on on Day 1. I voted for Moonae which was a boomerang vote since she threw one at me. When I came back to check, I saw she had three votes which meant she would be thrown out if nobody changed so I switched from her to Cati to even out the field. My change to Cati was purely random because by then Fylimar switched her vote so Cati had zero votes. I thought it safe to put one at his feet. When I checked back again, suddenly there were votes going for Cati. I didn't switch because I was thinking it would be like Moonae's case; people would even out the field and it didn't turn out that way.

I was rather proud of me voting so soon. Normally I'm one of the last.But I have a gut feeling about Moon and acted on it. Since nearly everyone here acted on gut feeling, I'm not sure, what is wrong with that.Plus I mostly am online early in the morning and in the evening European time, so if I vote on a normal time for me, it may be very soon or late for all non-Europeans.

Okay, since it doesn't seem as if any of the more quiet people are writing anything I shall vote for Pela.

The simple reason for that is that I do not want to be the fourth person voting for Moonae, even if I suspect her a little bit more than the others, without giving her a chance to defend herself. Romi earlier said that the spies are probably both among the people who changed their vote a lot during the last day as well as those who didn't, so I decided to pick Pela because she simply voted for Vella and waited for the end of the day, watching the mass confusion that was last day's voting .Of course it's only a made up reason, since I have no evidence to support my belief that she might be a spy. I did behave similarly during the last day so even my reason for voting may sound hypocritical .

OT; musing the reality of a female British commander in command of the type 45 Daring class air-defense destroyer which was the flagship of the NATO fleet in the 2018 Black Sea operation. My first thought was, Shepard. But she reminds me more of Honor Harrington because she's really tall. With that beret and uniform, they are reminiscence of the character.

I'll try to explain my actions:

I voted for OG. Then I made the switch from OG to Romice because we were heading for an ultimate tiebreaker and I wanted to place a second vote on someone. The reason I choose Romice specifically is the same reason I originally voted for OG: they both survived long in the last game.

Then when I started getting in the lead myself I wanted to save myself. No one else had 2 votes at the time (except Romice, but it was her I was stiching from) so the best I could do on my own was put myself in a tiebreaker. Instead I reached out to Owl who was the one (except for Romice, again) who was voting for me. She wouldn't be able to retaliate if I switched to her, so she was my best bet if I couldn't get someone else to change their vote. I used this fact as leverage to try and make a deal with her - let's both switch to someone else and be safe. I did not expect the chaos that followed.

Then Arcadia came in and voted for Cati (giving him 2 votes) which gave me an option - even if Owl didn't come through and follow my lead I'd be at least momentarily safe.

I will ask what exactly makes me suspicious? I wasn't the only one who voted for Romice and then regretted it, Arcadia did too (and she's cleared by Space). I wasn't the only one who made a deal with another player, Owl did too (and she's also been cleared by Space). Neither of those 2 things automatically say "SPY", clearly. "Wanting to stay alive" is a reasonable motive both for heroes and spies, so I don't see why voting for Cati (who was the only viable option) is odd.

Actually, the fact that Owl's been cleared is important. If that wasn't the case I could see someone arguing that we seemed to be on the same side, since we wanted to avoid putting both of us up for a tie and then teaming up to take out a hero. But we obviously aren't spies teaming up, are we?

Yeah, chances are they be of those is a spy. I’d have to check later. There should be three spies right? And we have 3 cleared heroes currently.

You, me and Owl for sure. Vella is so amenable I think she must be alright, so that leaves OG, Rom, Moon, Basia and Pela.

I wouldn't be so sure about vella. She's played this game before (irl) and her being the newbie here might be the perfect cover for her evil role. I'm not saying I would vote her out but I'll definitely keep an eye on her.

I'm also still not sure about my vote, but fylimar seems to be my best option so far. And if I follow that hunch, it would mean that Moon isn't evil so I'll stick to that assumption for now.

Romice's role might be a bit of a mystery, true. I still don't think an evil Krogan would have revealed their identity that early in the game

I like how Basia explains what she's doing and that she's not following into someone's footsteps, so I wouldn't wanna vote for her. That leaves pela and OG, and I don't have any particular thoughts about either.

Oops, forgot about Fylimar.....so that leaves 6 contenders. Then if Vella is being all innocent then that's 7. Urgh.

Moderator posts are clearly labelled as such, all other posts are my own.

It's all right, you can forget about me

I'm at a loss at the moment. Before I change, I will wait a bit more, whta the discussion brings. I'm a bit more suspicious of Moon than others, my other suspect, owl, was just cleard by spaciara, so I try to figure out, what's going on, by reading a bit more comments (and some people haven't voted yed, could be interesting too)
